I've had my TKR751 V2 running 40watts out for 2 years +...put an external fan on it to help but it barely gets warm even tied to the East Coast Reflector!?

<----I disagree. The pre Version 2's didn't have the improved PA
design and it was known for PA failures. Not extremely common but
they happened. Sure, you could retrofit the new PA board into a pre
V2 but it wasn't all that common to do. The new PA is essentially
bulletproof.

The main reason why I'll only buy v2 TKRs.
BTW I had a TKR-850 at full 40 W power for over a year: no problems -
hardly even got warm.? Only removed from service because I happened
to get a better radio to use (Tait TB8100).? A 2nd one has been also
running 40 W for 1 1/2 years now in MA: same result.
